How about Green Papaya on Winter St. just off 128/95? It's in the strip mall with Wine Cellar of Silene and Bertucci's (or you could go to Bertucci's!). Green Papaya has nice Thai food with many lunch specials.

Yep, Demos, 146 Lexington St, Waltham. Yep, the branch of the Watertown Demos, but much bigger and newer.

Johnie's is a deli/pizzaria across the street from Kev's Quick-Mart, near Radio Shack and Starcrafts. They have wonderful calzones, some innovative pizza combinations, a "breakfast pie" which is sort of a low, wide quiche, hot and cold subs, juices and sodas. They keep a few days worth of newspapers handy, in case you miss what happened yesterday in Doonesbury.

Food was fine, nothing spectacular, but my girlfriend and I were probably 30 years younger than the average patron at the time.

A much closer and better takeout sandwich shop is reportedly the Marrett Square Deli (formerly Glenn Eric's). This is on Marrett Rd (Rt 2A) across from the Mobil station, near the corner of Waltham St. We haven't used either recently, but this is the general impression my wife gets from the lunchies in her office. If you are looking for Greek-style pizza and subs (grinders), I'd suggest B&F pizza on Lake St. Head toward Waltham center on Lexington St. Pass Wal-Lex and turn right after the bowling alley. B&F is perhaps 1/2 mile on the right, just after the ball field. -Al

I can recommend two restaurants with a 5+ minute ride. First is The Chateau. It is good Italian at reasonable prices. I especially recommend the Toasted Ravioli and the Veal Parmigain. It is a couple of blocks down School which is one set of lights before Main Street (turn right onto School street).. The second is Demo's. Good Greek food at VERY reasonable prices. They are right on Lexington Street. It is on the right heading towards Waltham Center.
